BigOmics’ Omics Playground

Omics Playground is a data discovery and exploration platform for single and multiomics that enables dry-lab bioinformaticians to interactively share analysis results with wet-lab bench scientists and biologists. It simplifies the analysis, interpretation, and presentation of complex biological data, enabling bioinformaticians to offload repetitive tasks and focus on higher-level insights, whilst giving biologists transparency and a deeper understanding of the data.

With Omics Playground, bioinformaticians can easily package QC metrics, differential expression, gene set and pathway enrichment, and correlative analysis into interactive, no-code dashboards. The platform also offers advanced analytical capabilities, including batch correction, biomarker discovery, WGCNA, drug connectivity analysis, and integrated multi-omics analysis across transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. With Omics Playground, bioinformaticians can interactively share data and final results with biologists, accelerating collaborative insight discovery.

Partnership Spotlight

Seqera and BigOmics Analytics have joined forces to solve a critical challenge in bioinformatics: the gap between pipelines and interactive analysis. This partnership enables scientists to seamlessly transition from running Nextflow pipelines to downstream exploration with Omics Playground, all in Seqera. The result is a unified platform that ensures reproducibility, enables real-time collaboration, and eliminates the friction of moving large datasets between environments.
